Report: Apple App Store and Google Play revenues grow in Q1

According to the latest App Annie report, people spent a good amount of time on smart phones in the first quarter. The reason for this is the outbreak of the first-quarter COW-19 global outbreak, which has caused people to be confined to their homes and hence their use of mobile. Android users spent 20% more time on apps and games than in the first quarter.

In the first quarter, Chinese consumers spent an average of 5 hours a day on mobile. American, Italian and French users also spend a lot of time on non-gaming apps. From January to March this year, Android and iOS users downloaded 31.5 billion apps. Of these, 22.5 billion apps were downloaded from the Google Play Store and 9 billion from the App Store.

Consumers on both platforms spent $ 23.4 billion purchasing apps.

Of these, $ 15 billion was spent by iOS users and 8.3 billion Android users. Users downloaded mostly non-gaming apps but spent more money on gaming apps. Apple received more revenue from the US and China this quarter, while Google Play Store users from South Korea, Japan and the US spent more. India and Brazil were the most downloaded countries from the Play Store, while users from China and the US downloaded more apps from the App Store.

Users on both iOS and Android platforms have downloaded TalkTalk, WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram and Facebook Messenger the most. Facebook, WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger had the highest monthly monthly active users in the first quarter.
